They said there on-line pricing "represents a credit" for the 512MB ram that
has to be removed from the iMac to bring it up to 2GB. They assert they
can't do anything with the 512 and there is no mechanism to return it to the
company. Also, their RAM is that special, Mac-certified RAM. . . .
FWIW. . . .one online vendor lists:
DDR2 PC2-5300 * CL=5 * UNBUFFERED * NON-ECC * DDR2-667 * 1.8V * 128Meg x 64
US $388.39
Another well-known online vendor offers 2GB, iMac Intel Core for $259.

Hi All,
Couple of questions. The Annapolis, Md., Apple Store says that Apple
software is not eligible for the Federal discount in the store, that
it must be ordered online. Is this true, or does the store's
personnel need some training?
Also, they wanted to charge $600 to upgrade a new 20" iMac to 2GB RAM
at the time of purchase, while online Apple only charges around $260.
What gives? Are they really ripping people off that much in the
stores? (We won't even talk about the "oh well, that's just the way
it is, take it or leave it" attitude of one of the sales people there).
